Mooring Simulation and Experimental Study of a Novel Dual-Impact Horizontal Rotor Wave Energy Converter

open access: yesPolish Maritime Research
A novel dual-impact horizontal rotor wave energy converter (DHRWEC) system was designed to accommodate the short wave periods and low wave heights that are typical of China’s coastal regions, based on a combination of wave concentration and amplification

Experimental Research on Shipborne SINS Rapid Mooring Alignment with Variance-Constraint Kalman Filter and GNSS Position Updates

open access: yesSensors
Analytical coarse alignment and Kalman filter fine alignment based on zero-velocity are typically used to obtain initial attitude for inertial navigation systems (SINS) on a static base.

Structural reliability based position mooring

open access: yes, 2008
This thesis considers control of moored marine structures, referred to as position mooring. Moored marine structures can take on a number of different forms, and two applications are considered in this work, namely aquacultural farms and petroleum producing vessels.

Fault Detection for Position Mooring Using Statistical Analysis

open access: yes, 2018
The standard approach for detecting mooring line failures for position moored vessels is by measuring the tension in the mooring lines, either directly or indirectly. The sensors measuring the line tensions are often hard to maintain due to being mounted under water, and determining if a loss of tension is a line failure or a sensor failure can be ...

A Study on Position Mooring System Design for the Vessel Moored by Mooring Lines

IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics, 2015
This paper presents the experimental results about position mooring (PM) system applied to the barge ship. The aim of the PM is to maintain the position and motion of the ship's surge and sway directions as desired. In this paper, a system consisting of a barge vessel and mooring lines is mathematically modeled.

Thruster assisted position mooring based on structural reliability

International Journal of Control, 2008
This paper addresses dynamic positioning of surface vessels moored to the seabed via a spread mooring system, referred to as position mooring. In normal weather conditions, the mooring system constrains the vessel and the controller applies thruster force for motion damping and heading control, only.

Robust Adaptive Position Mooring Control for Marine Vessels

IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 2013
In this paper, robust adaptive control with dynamic control allocation is proposed for the positioning of marine vessels equipped with a thruster assisted mooring system, in the presence of parametric uncertainties, unknown disturbances and input nonlinearities.

Switching control for thruster-assisted position mooring

Control Engineering Practice, 2009
The position mooring (PM) for marine vessels contains several controllers, such as heading, damping, restoring and mean force controllers which could be activated or deactivated depending on the environmental and operational conditions. This paper proposes to integrate these controllers into a switching control system.
